Last week I had the pleasure to welcome a very unusual group in my place for a few days: the 'Dialogue sur Terre' team.

They're a group of four (Audrey, with whom I spent a year in Singapore; Ludovic; Mariette and Guillaume) who took a year off to travel around the globe - but not for tourism. In every country they go to, they stop for 10 days in a remote village to mix with the locals, understand how they live and study the environmental impact. The goal? To assess whether a simpler life - while remaining comfortable - could be more environmentally conscious. More details on their website (mostly in French though)!

Now, back to the photo: we were celebrating Mariette's birthday with a delicious tiramisu - made from scratch, no less ;)
